*~*~*
*8:00 A.M. Saturday*
Izumi woke up and looked at the clock it was 8 A.M. She remembered the picnic and the phone call from Ohpanimon, 'It's finally Saturday, I can't wait to see the others again... oh and tell them about the phone call too'. She got up and walked to the bathroom.
When she finished she open her closet and found a lot of outfits. She remembered what happened in the digital world while she was wearing a skirt so she decided to wear a jean. She picked a plain, dark blue jean and a purple shirt, in the front it said wind and it has pictures of pink cherry blossoms flying like it was being blown by the wind.
She also remembered how cold it was in some part of the digital world, she remembered once with they were in a place with the snow all around them and they were sailing on their way aboard their raft, she remembered when Kouji offered his blue jacket to keep her warm.
She picked a purple warm sweater and tied it around her waist since it was warm that day and chose a purple and white running shoes. She also picked her favorite purple hat. She walked out of her room and walked down the stairs. She went to the kitchen, 'I should pack something for the picnic but then we'll probably head to the digital world right away when the others hear about the phone call, but then again it might not be a bad idea if I bring some food to the digital world as long as it stays fresh'.
She took out a purple medium size backpack with some white stripe. She started to put some chips, sodas, and chocolate on it. She remembered how much Junpi liked to eat a lot of chocolate and decided not to let him near her backpack while. She also remembered when Junpi and Tomoki got attack by a bunch of Pagumon for the chocolate. She remembered that that's when they first saw Kouji and she remembered how he fight those Pagumon using only a pole and defeated them without even digivolving into a digimon. Then when one of the Pagumon digivolve into a Raremon, Kouji found his spirit and spirit-evolves to Lobomon.
When she finished putting the foods in her backpack she looked at her purple watch with some cherry blossoms pictures on it, she received it from her 13th birthday a few weeks ago, it was only 9:53. She still have three hours and seven minutes left till the picnic. She remembered that she hasn't eat breakfast yet, so she brought out some cereal and put it in a bowl. When she finished eating, she looked at her watch again, it was 10:02.
She looked outside, 'Hmm, may be I'll go outside and just walk around to pass the time. She walked out of her house and walked down the street. After she walked for about ten minutes, she stopped. 'There's nothing much to see at all' she sigh and walked backed to her house.
When she got to her house, it was already10:24. 'Now what should I do' she looked around and stopped when she saw the television. 'I guess I'll just T.V. watch until its time to go.'
*~*~*
*11:30 A.M. Saturday*
Izumi looked at her watch when the show she was watching finished, it was already 11:30. 'It'll only take fifteen minutes to get there but there's nothing better to do, so I might as well go now.'
She turned the television off and walked over to the kitchen to get her backpack. She walked on the street and arrived at the park at 11:48. She was right, it only took her about fifteen minutes to get to the park.
She walked around looking for a good place to wait for the others. She thought none of them will be there yet since it was still too early. While she was looking around she saw Kouji leaning on a tree. 'Kouji!? What is he doing here too early?' Kouji was wearing the cloths that looked excactly like the one he wore the last time they were in the digital world except bigger. Next to him was a midnight blue backpack, Izumi guessed inside of it was food.
"Kouji!" Izumi yelled as she ran toward him.
Kouji look toward her direction, but his expression remained the same. When Izumi arrived he just look back at where he was staring before he saw Izumi.
"Hi, Kouji," Izumi said smiling.
Kouji didn't say anything.
"Hello? Are you deaf?"
He still didn't say anything.
Izumi sigh and said, "I guess you still haven't changed since the last time I saw you."
Kouji just leaned at the tree and didn't say anything as if he didn't hear her or know she's there.
"By the way where's Kouichi? I thought you would have gone here with him."
Kouji still didn't say anything.
Izumi sighed again and sat down on the bench near the tree.
A few minutes has past then finally Kouji spoked, "I was just thinking why does the digital need our help, we already defeated Cherubimon and Lucemon. What is happening in the digital world?"
"I guess we'll know when we get there."
"Yeah, but what if it's too late?"
"I don't think so, Ohpanimon only told us a few days ago."
"Yeah, but..."
"But what?"
"Never mind, anyway why are you here so early ?" Kouji asked changing the subject.
"I didn't have anything else to do and I really wanted to see all of you guys again. It had been a very long time since I saw any of you. I only saw Takuya on Thursday."
"Yeah, I guess three years is a bit long, but you do still have to wait for them here anyway."
Izumi smiled and looked at him, "Yeah I do still have to wait for them but I didn't have to wait to see you."
Kouji blushed but look away before Izumi saw.
"Kouji?"
"Yeah?"
"Why were you early?"
Kouji just shrugged and didn't say anything.
"After, we tell the others about the phone call from Ohpanimon, how are we going to get to the Digital world?"
"Maybe in the train station."
"But what if it doesn't work?"
Kouji shrugged and said, "Maybe Ohpanimon will tell us how and if she doesn't then I guess we'll just try and figure out how."
Izumi nodded then looked at her watch. It was already 12:02. They waited in silence, then Izumi looked at her watch again it was already 12:10.
"Shouldn't any of them here by now?" Izumi finally asked.
Kouji looked at her watch it was still 12:04. "It's still 12:04."
"Ahhh... oops I forgot, I set my watched ahead so I won't be late at school."
"But still one of them should be here by now." She looked around, the park was big so she couldn't see everything. "I know maybe some of them are already here, we just haven't seen them yet and vice versa." She headed toward the tree Kouji was leaning on and climbed it. "I should be able to see everything from here."
"Be careful or you might fall."
"I can climb any trees easily."
Suddenly a voice yelled, "Izumi," this surprised Izumi and lost her balance. She fell but Kouji caught her before she hit the ground.
"Are you okay?" Kouji asked a trace of concerned in his voice.
"Yeah, thanks for catching me."
Kouji blushed when he notice he was holding Izumi and quickly let her down, perhaps too quickly that it made Izumi lost her balance and tumbled into him, which made him stiffen and blush even more.
"Sorry," Izumi apologized.
"It's okay," he said in a stiff voice.
"Izumi are you okay? I saw you fell from the tree when I yelled you name," Junpi said running toward them.
"Yeah, I'm okay, Kouji caught me before I hit the ground," Izumi answered as Junpi reached them.
"Why were on the tree?" A voice from behind her asked.
She turned around and saw Kouichi standing next to Kouji. He was also wearing the cloths that looked excactly like the one he wore the last time they were in the digital world except bigger but he was also wearing a hat (AN: It's the hat he was wearing when he was trying to catch up to Kouji and lost it when he fell in the stairs). He has a green backpack behind him 'that must be where he put the food' Izumi thought which made her realize she was really hungry.
"I wanted to see if any of you are here yet," Izumi answered.
"Will we're here, except for Takuya and Tomoki," Kouichi said.
Izumi looked around then saw Takuya and Tomoki. They were walking and didn't saw them.
"Takuya! Tomoki!" Izumi yelled.
They both looked toward their direction. "Hey, Izumi, Kouji, Kouichi, and Junpi," Takuya yelled back, Tomoki just smiled happily.
Takuya ran toward them dragging Tomoki along. "Hey guys, nice to see all of you again."
"Hi Takuya, hi Tomoki." Kouichi and Junpi said at the same time, while Kouji just nodded.
Izumi smiled, she was glad to see all of them again, but then she remembered the phone call from Ohpanimon. "I'm really glad to see all of you again but there's something Kouji and I have to tell you."
"You guys are getting married?" Takuya joked and started laughing.
"Haha, very funny Takuya," Izumi said sarcastically.
"What do you have to tell us Izumi?" Tomoki asked and turned to Kouji and added, "and Kouji?"
"You tell them Izumi or you Kouichi, I already told you about it," Kouji said.
"We got a phone call from Ohpanimon," Izumi said getting Takuya's attention and stopped laughing.
"Ohpanimon?" Takuya asked looking really surprised.
"Yeah, it said..."
"Here listen to it," Kouji interrupted getting his cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to Takuya. "I saved it so you guys can listen to it."
Takuya looked at the cell phone then pushed a button, Ohpanimon's voice came out of it and said, "Kouji, legendary warrior of the light, the digital world need your's and the other legendary warriors' help."
"That's Ohpanimon's voice, but that's does that mean the digital world is in danger?" Tomoki asked.
"We're not sure, but probably or why else would it needs our help?" Izumi explained.
"That's not problem, all we have to do is go to the digital world and defeat whoever's causing trouble, but why didn't you guys told us sooner?" Takuya asked.
"I got the phone call after you told me about the picnic and I tried to call all of you after that every hour but I couldn't, somehow someone made it impossible for us to tell you the phone," Kouji explained.
"But who?" Junpi who was listening finally spoked.
"How should I know?" Kouji answered. "All I know is that we need to go to the digital world."
"Right now?" Junpi asked.
Kouji nodded.
"Couldn't we eat lunch first?"
Kouji was about to say something but then his cell phone started ringing. He pushed the button to answer it and Ohpanimon's voice came out of it once again. "You all need to go to the train station and take the train leaving at 12:45 P.M."
"Will you heard her let's get going." Takuya said. He started to run toward the train station and the others followed.
Izumi looked at her watch it was already 12:25. "Guys, it"s already 12:25, do you think we'll make it?"
"Sure we can," Takuya answered, "We just need to go faster." He then started to run faster, while the others except Kouji tried to keep up. Kouji was running a little ahead of him.
They got there just in time when the train started to close the doors. When they got on the train there were only a few people on board.
"See told you, we'll make it," Takuya said. "I had to do the same thing the first time we go to the digital world and almost got hit by a truck."
Izumi looked around and saw two of her best friends at school sitting in the set on the right. "Emerald! Sapphire!" She called out happily at two girl, they look at her direction and smiled, "Izumi!" Both of them said at the same time.
They stood up and walked towards them. They both have golden brown hair. They look excactly the same except for their eyes, one of them have sapphire eyes while the others one had emerald.
The one with sapphire was wearing a blue T-shirt with the words All Star written on white on the front, it also have pictures of red stars around it, she have a jacket tied around her waist just like Izumi. She was wearing a dark blue baggy pants and have a blue watch on her left hand. On her neck was a gold neckless, with a bright sapphire pendant. She have short golden brown straight hair that reached her shoulder.
The one with emerald eyes have long wavy golden brown hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt, with a dark pink outline. She was wearing a blue denim skirt and black boots that's only a few inches below her knee. She also have a golden neckless the looked like the one the other girl was wearing except it have an emerald instead of sapphire and a bracelet with beautiful emerald gems around it.
"Sapphire, Emerald, this is Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Junpi, and Tomoki," Izumi introduced them while pointing to each one of them as she say their names. "Guys this is Emerald and Sapphire, they're also twins just like Kouji and Kouichi," she added and did the same thing as she say their names.
"Hey," Sapphire greeted in a bright and cheery voice.
"Hi, it's nice to meet all of you," Emerald greeted calm and soft voice.
"Hi," the others greeted then Kouichi added, "Nice to meet both of you too." The others nodded in agreement.
"Izumi, are you going somewhere?" Sapphire asked.
"Amm..." Izumi couldn't say they were going to the digital world no matter how much she doesn't want to lie to them.
Izumi was going to make up something but Emerald interrupted and said, "I think that's Izumi's business, Sapphire," Emerald knew Izumi can't tell them no matter how she doesn't want to lie to them, then she turn back to them and said, "It's nice to see you Izumi and it's nice to meet all of you too, but we should be going now," as the train stopped and the doors opened.
"Okay, see ya," Izumi said waving her hands, as both of her friends exited the train, she wasn't sure if she will see them again, if something that endanger the digital world is really strong and they couldn't beat it they might all die.
"Izumi this is also our stop," Kouichi said.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."
They exited the train then Junpi asked, "Do we do the same thing we did last time? Go to the elevator?"
"I guess so," Izumi answered.
They walked toward the elevator. When they go there they saw that someone was using it and looked like they were going at the bottom the same place they were going.
"Hey! Look! I think someone else is going to the digital world." Tomoki said.
"But, we're the only ones that know about th digital world, right?" Junpi asked.
"No, some other kids know about it, the ones that came back from the digital world before us, Katsuharu, Teppei, Chiaki, and Teruo." Kouji said.
"Oh yeah," Junpi said.
"Do you think it's them?" Izumi asked.
"There's only one way to find out." Kouichi said as he pushed the button on the elevator.
When the elevator opened they entered. "I wonder how many kids there are?" Takuya asked to no in particular.
"Like Kouichi said, there's only one way to find out," Kouji said.
They all nodded and waited for the elevator to stop. When it stop they exited it right away. There was only one train waiting for them.
"That'll make it easier for us to find the other kids," Takuya said.
They walked toward the train. When they entered it, they saw three girls talking and there was one boy sitting by himself in the far end looking at the window.
The four kids notice them enter and Izumi was surprised to see that two of them were Sapphire and Emerald.
"Izumi!" Sapphire almost yelled but in a happy kind of way.
Emerald didn't seemed surprised. She smiled and said, "Hi, Izumi."
"Sapphire, Emerald, what you guys doing here?" Izumi asked looking really surprise.
"We got a phone call from someone that told us to go here," Emerald answered.
"From Ohpanimon?" Takuya asked.
Emerald looked at him then looked at the rest then she smiled and said, "It seem that you all know more than all of us about it, is it okay if you tell us?"
They all thought about it and decided to tell them since they may know too much already to forget all of it.
They started explaining about the digital world and what happen, they also told them about them becoming digimon then told them about the phone call Kouji and Izumi got. Kouji let them listen to it.
"Hey, that sounded like the voice that called us and it said the same thing except for the warrior of light thingie, mind said warrior of electricity," Sapphire said.
"The same for me except it said warrior of darkness," Emerald.
"Me too, except it said warrior of ice, by the was my name is Sakura," the other girl said. Her voice was cheerful and sweet. She looked like she was about 11 years old two years younger than Izumi. She was wearing a pink dress that reached a little above her knee. She have short golden brown hair like Sapphire and Emerald, but her's was shorter than Sapphire's hair, it was a little above her shoulder and she have a pigtail in each side with a few strand of hairs on the front that wasn't on a pigtail. She have a small pink purse hanging on her shoulder. She also have beautiful bright emerald eyes the exact same color as Emerald's except her eyes are more cheerful than her.
"Nice to meet you," they all said except for Emerald, Sapphire, and the boy since they already meet her and then introduced themselves.
When they finish introducing themselves Takuya looked at the other boy and asked. "How about you?"
"I'm Syoaran, mind's said warrior of fire," he answered. He have chestnut brown hair and amber eyes. He was about the same age as Sakura.
"Hi," everybody said except for Emerald, Sapphire and Sakura.
"You probably know us already when we were introducing ourselves to Sakura," Izumi said.
He nodded and didn't say anything.
"May be that's why we didn't receive the message from Ohpanimon, they got it instead," Kouichi said. "Sapphire got the message that was suppose to be for Junpi, Emerald got the message that was suppose to be for me, Sakura got the message that was suppose to be for Tomoki, and Syoaran got the message that was suppose to be for Takuya."
"Do all of you even believe what we all said?" Takuya asked. "I mean it is really hard to believe."
"Emerald and I both know that Izumi would never lie to about things like that and beside you all didn't sound like you were lying," Sapphire said.
"And we kind of have things that's we also kept secret that's harder to believe than the one you said," Sakura said looking at Syoaran.
"Can you tell us?" Sapphire asked excitedly.
"Well..."
"You don't really need to tell us, if it's a secret," Emerald said smiling kindly.
Sakura smiled back glad that she doesn't have to explain about the cards.
